Hello all,
My mum has just gone into a care home with dementia. Of which after the 1st 6 weeks she will be charged around a grand a week.
Earlier, I heard a chat radio conversation on the subject, and a caller mentioned something called "NHS Continuing Healthcare"
As you do, I've googled it, and it seems that you can get your care home payed and it's not means tested?
I'm going to contact her local CCG next week as apparently the 1st port of call. Just wondering if anybody on here has been down this path and your experience?
Anyone else in my current situation if you don't know, there is a thing out there called "attendance allowance" that pays your family member around £370 a month, hope that helps someone
cheers all
